Lake Michigan Improvements — IEPA Amended Project Plan PE1D Please see the attached transcript from the court reporter regarding the public hearing portion of the meeting. CITIZEN COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS Kreg Wesley, with the Yorkville School District 115, Business Manager, Asst. Superintendent for Business Services, shared the school's concerns about the timing of the new development of 105 units. The school estimated 77 students enrolled due to this development, and the developers projected 23 students. Kreg also noted that he was unaware that some units would have two bedrooms, as he was previously told three bedrooms only. The district supports this development, but not at this time, even with the increase in transition fees. Kim Schmidt, resident of the Greenbriar Subdivision, shared her concerns about the townhomes coming in. She explained that they are concerned about the increase in traffic, the school district crisis, potential property becoming rental units in the future, and the one access point into the development. She believed aesthetically, this development does not belong due to the three-story design and eighteen buildings. She stated a more viable solution would be to extend the existing Prairie Gardens. They are not opposed to growth but would like the City to work hand in hand with the School District and residents. Mary Maher Bartalone, Bristol Township Assessor, explained that she was there to give comments on the Dave Hamman and Kelaka project. She shared that she was at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting when that commission shot down this project unanimously. The residents were dismayed that a The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council — March 11, 2025 — Page 2 of 9 revised plan was taken to the City Council without notice to the homeowners. From a professional standpoint, she shared that a property surrounded by residential areas on three sides has no business being zoned M-2. Homeowners should not have to live under this constant threat of what is happening to the land behind them. She reported that she is 100% against this zoning to M-2 and hopes the Council abides by the PZC's recommendation. Brian A. Carrabotta, a Yorkville resident, shared that he was there to speak on the opposition to the HammonKelaka project's re -proposal. He asked the Council to please keep this residential. Bailey Carrabotta, a Yorkville resident, shared that she did not come prepared for tonight's meeting as they were not informed there were changes made. She said they are extremely frustrated with how this was handled. She wants to echo what Mary and Brian shared and said she is strongly opposed to the zoning to the M-2 and the changes made to the annexation agreement. Nicole Cauley, a resident of Kylyn's Ridge, explained that she is very opposed to this data center. She shared that she has young kids who walk to school and bus stops, which now she will have to fear due to the increased traffic. She thinks people will be using Cannonball and High Ridge and asked if something will be done to help this. She then said to please keep this residential and keep the children safe in the neighborhood. Carol Kicher, a resident of Kylyn's Ridge, shared that she has attended all four meetings regarding the data center. The data center will be in her backyard. She is concerned about the parking lot they said they would put in due to the noise. She shared her concerns about the structure constantly producing 85 decibels. She shared that the cooling system is loud and drives away wildlife. Data Centers are loud and resource -intensive. They are some of the most energy -intensive buildings in existence. They consume 50x more power than a standard office. She asked what would happen to their power. They are concerned with water drainage, construction, and increasing construction traffic. She thought this was done due to the PZC's non -recommendation. Sara Fellerer, a Yorkville resident, wanted to point out the environmental concerns of data centers. She shared that the Rob Roy used to house red -horned fish, which are no longer there. Please take a step back and do not destroy the environment. Abby Cooling, a Yorkville resident, shared that she is a mother of a future kindergartner and has concerns about the new development off 47. She is also concerned about the development near Fox and Timber Ridge Estates. All three subdivisions will be serviced by Circle Center, which is concerning. She mentioned grocery stores and where they will shop with three new subdivisions coming in. She also asked if the Park District is aligning with the school district. She feels like we are not aligning as one united area/town. She hopes that the City will work with the School District to make it better for the kids. Kevin Crowley asked the Council to be conservative about data centers. Building one might take five years, and may not all take off as everyone wants. Once these buildings are built, we might be stuck with them. John Staller, a Yorkville resident, reported that he spoke at the last PZC meeting. He shared that he sees the need for the City and businesses to grow and extend our tax base. His main concern is the smaller one-off annexations, like 50 acres, that back up to residential subdivisions due to the chance they sell. This puts a risk for the residents next to these properties. He also mentioned that this meeting was a surprise to him after PZC. Don Bartalone, a Yorkville resident, shared that he thought the PZC recommendation was final and is surprised they are back here. Homes surround this property. He also mentioned Elk Grove Village. Sara Tesch, a resident of Kylyn's Ridge, expressed her concern about the data center and disapproval of what Yorkville will look like. She asked the Council to please consider what if these were outside their back windows and thanked them for considering everything they had said. Sara Chilelli, a resident of Kylyn's Ridge, shared that she strongly opposes the M-2 zoning and the new zoning for the Whispering Meadows area data centers. She hopes the Council will reconsider this, consider the residents in the neighborhood, and please not allow this next to homes. Tom Falbo, a resident of Kylyn's Ridge, shared that the PZC objected to the M-2 zoning for this property and was disappointed that it's back for another vote with only minimal changes to the proposal. The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council — March 11, 2025 — Page 3 of 9 Christy Fallon, a resident of Kylyn's Ridge, said they were excited about the last zoning meeting. This will be an eye sore with noise pollution. She hopes the Council will consider the residents and the PZC's vote. Rich Fisher, a resident of Kylyn's Ridge, shared that he was not aware of this project until this meeting. His greater point is that there are general concerns from the constituents in Yorkville who appreciate the beauty and why they live here. He wants us to be very tactical about how we are planning for this community. He wants to see the community grow strategically. CONSENT AGENDA 1.

So moved by Alderman Corneils; seconded by Alderman Plocher. Mayor Purcell reported that this will raise the transition fee from $3,000 to $5,000, an interim placeholder amount while the school completes its studies in late spring/early summer. This fee has not been changed since 2003. Alderman Transier asked how many subdivisions this would impact, and Mayor Purcell said any that we approve tonight or moving forward. City Administrator Olson also said any subdivisions already approved if they do not have a fee lock or did not pre -pay would also impact them. He also said the new development would be locked in at $5,000 for three years if approved tonight. Alderman Soling asked how much would come in for the school if the new development is approved, which Mayor Purcell said was around $525,000. Alderman Funkhouser asked what the City's financial basis was to recommend the change from $3,000 to $5,000, which Mayor Purcell said was due to not having a change to the amount The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council — March 11, 2025 — Page 5 of 9 since 2003. He also mentioned the school district anticipates it being closer to $8,000 to $10,000. They just have not finalized their study. Alderman Funkhouser stated there are financial analyses required to update these amounts, which the school is currently doing to justify the cost. Alderman Funkhouser stated he has a problem with the City doing an arbitrary fee increase based on the subjective information received thus far from the school district. Alderman Funkhouser made a motion to table this agenda item back to the Committee until the school's analysis is received. The motion failed due to lack of a second. Main motion approved by a roll call vote.

So moved by Alderman Soling; seconded by Alderman Corneils. Public Works Director Dhuse shared that the Council has approved $55k to remove the well to inspect and diagnose it. The new proposal was placed in the packet for $375k, which was a worst -case scenario to ensure work could start without holding a Special City Council meeting. The quote has since been updated, and the cost to complete the repair is $151,662. Alderman Funkhouser made a motion to amend the amount from $375,000 to $151,662; seconded by Alderman Corneils.

PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE REPORT Regulation of Time Restricted Parking on Grande Trail by Grande Reserve Elementary (PS 2025-09) Alderman Transier made a motion to approve the initiation of the public engagement process and gather feedback from those directly impacted by the traffic along Grande Trail near Grande Reserve Elementary School; seconded by Alderman Koch. Chief Jensen reported they had received several complaints regarding parking on both sides of the street, along with kids running in and out of the street on Grande Trail near Grande Reserve Elementary. The proposed regulations would limit parking on one side of the street of Grande Trail, opposite the school, between Matlock Drive and McLellan Boulevard, on school attendance days only. This would be Monday — Friday from 7:30 am to 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Chief Jensen shared that they are proposing a full public engagement process due to the large number of homes in the area. If the City is to approve the concept, they will move forward with sending out the letter within the packet inviting residents to attend a Public Safety Committee meeting. Motion approved by a roll call vote.

Ordinance Approving the Rezoning to R-4 General Multi -Family Residence Zoning District of Certain Territory Known as 1115 South Bridge Street, Yorkville, Illinois (Fox Haven) Mayor Purcell entertained a motion to approve an Ordinance Approving a Planned Unit Development Agreement with 1115, LLC and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute. So moved by Alderman Transier; seconded by Alderman Soling. Attorney Richard Williams, the petitioner's attorney, shared a brief presentation (see attached. He noted that the project is expected to take two years and will follow the City's hours of operation. They have worked hard to maximize the buffer between Fox Haven and Greenbriar to the west. The City's minimum requirement for a setback is 40', and the closest building to Greenbriar is 82.5'. They will install a 6' privacy fence along the western property boundary. There were concerns about trespassing, so they agreed to install a split -rail fence along the northern property line with no trespassing signs. There will be zero light spillage on neighboring properties. The City code requires 237 parking spaces, and they are proposing 354. He shared that all units will be for sale and not for short-term rentals. They will not allow rentals under 12 months. The visual impact of the site will be mitigated by the current tree lines, their planned improvements, and the building being further than 80' from the property line. He also shared that they agreed to pay the updated transition fees. They also believe the school district will be able to handle any new students the development may receive. Alderman Koch said he would like to table this item because he wants to meet with the school and get further input on their concerns. Alderman Koch made a motion to table this item until the March 25, 2025, City Council meeting; seconded by Alderman Corneils. Motion to table failed by a roll call vote. Ayes-4 Nays-4 Soling -nay, Marek-nay, Corneils-aye, Koch -aye, Plocher-aye, Funkhouser-aye, Transier-nay, Mayor Purcell -nay Alderman Funkhouser shared that the petitioner has worked to negate the residents' concerns, and they are meeting the City's standards per code. They are making strides to develop a property that has been vacant for a long time. There is a significant buffer between the existing single-family homes and the townhomes. They are also adding to the current landscape to the west and south. They are also adding privacy fences to the west and north. The only negative he sees is the impact on the school district. Alderman Transier shared that his primary concern is the density of people occupying these 13-14 acre lots. He does agree there is a need for alternate housing options. He believes these homes would be ideal for younger or older adults without kids. The school does have issues, but that is going to be ongoing. This community is going to continue to grow. Alderman Transier asked how long it has been since the City approved a development that was not a 55+ community, which Mayor Purcell said they have not been since he has been in office since 2019. Alderman Transier said he has no objection to the development. Mayor Purcell entertained a motion to recess for 10 minutes at 8:37 p.m. So moved by Alderman Soling; seconded by Alderman Transier. Motion unanimously approved by a viva voee vote. Returned from recess at 8:58 p.m. Mayor Purcell entertained a motion to table this item until the April 8, 2025, City Council meeting. So moved by Alderman Soling; seconded by Alderman Corneils. Motion to table approved by a roll call vote.

Annexing Certain Property Generally Located South of Faxon Road and West of Iroquois Lane (Hamman-Kelaka Property) Mayor Purcell entertained a motion to approve an Ordinance Annexing Certain Property Generally Located South of Faxon Road and West of Iroquois Lane (Hamman-Kelaka Property) and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute. So moved by Alderman Corneils; seconded by Alderman Funkhouser. Community Development Director Barksdale -Noble reported that the petition is for annexing two parcels located south of Faxon Road and west of Iroquois Lane. In addition to annexing the two parcels, they request that they be rezoned from R-1 to M-2. There is a separate parcel at Rt. 34 and Eldamain Road that are already in the city, and they want to rezone it from its current zoned B-3 to M-2. The petitioner has previously agreed to some standards restricting the M-2 uses if a data center is not developed. There is also a reverter clause: if nothing is developed in 20 years, the zoning will revert to the original. There is also a requirement for any development on the property to come back to the City Council for site plan approval. Since the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the City and petitioner have come up with additional conditions to the annexation agreement. One condition is the parcel adjacent to Kylyn's Ridge will not have any buildings, but parking, roads, and stormwater facilities will be permitted. Then, the 100' landscape buffer with an 8' tall berm adjacent to Kylyn's Ridge and Kendall Marketplace homes on Blackberry Shore Lane will be implemented. The Blackberry Shore Lane homes will receive the same restrictions as Kylyn's Ridge, with a 100' landscape buffer and no buildings closer than 400' to the nearest residential structure. The final condition, which staff has recommended, is a maximum 60' height restriction on all buildings within 1,500' of any adjacent residential subdivision. The petitioner is concerned with this restriction because the average data center building is between 70' and 80'. Owner and Petitioner Dave Hamman shared that they have agreed to all the requested changes. The only change they disagreed with was the height restriction, as M-2 usually does not have these restrictions. They want the Council to change this restriction from 60' to 70'. Alderman Funkhouser shared that this has been a lot of work. He said the petitioner has met with the alderman a few times. There has been a lot of good faith from both directions. The current proposal states that the parcel immediately adjacent to Kylyn's Ridge shall have no buildings. There is also a condition that no buildings can be closer than 400' to the nearest residential structure. He then brought up the height restriction, which he and Alderman Marek discussed, and said that they would be okay with a 70', inclusive of rooftop equipment. Alderman Soling shared that at the recent YBSD meeting, it was mentioned that the Cyrus One data centers will have an air-cool system and will not be using water for cooling. Alderman Marek shared that the 70' height restriction aligns with what Cyrus One has done. He also shared that we have made much progress on where this project is tonight from the first meeting with the residents. Alderman Funkhouser shared that this triangle parcel has many restrictions and will not be able to have a large data center. Motion approved by a roll call vote.

We have two kids that both currently attend YIS. We love the town, and the schools, but fear that Yorkville is not in a position to have the additional housing that will cause not only increased traffic just outside our neighborhood, but also congestion in our schools. I was advised by a teacher last month to be sure I complete my children's school registration right away if I want to secure their spot at our school due to the overcrowding at the schools. I am aware that the North side of town is planning to create temporary classrooms for the overcrowding problem they have. How much space do our schools on the South side of town have available. What about having only one Middle School and High School in town.what will happen there? You already turned a school into a freshman campus to try and accommodate, but there just isn't the room. I also fear that particular parcel of land, being surrounded by storage buildings in an unattractive lot tucked away might not sell to the ideal homeowner. If parts of that area are not sold in time, will the builders abandon the lots like they did in Bristol Bay? What an eyesore to our town going to the soccer fields seeing half built homes and materials just left. What if it were sold and turned into rental buildings? The traffic that this neighborhood will bring with over 100 homes in such a small space, with only one way in and out is going to cause severe traffic issues. 47 is already challenging enough to get onto from Greenbrier road. Is there a plan in place for us to safely leave our developments with the added traffic congestion? We have loved our home and town for these past 15 years. We loved that when we moved here, there were great schools, a small town feel, and although the taxes are very high, we felt confident that they were going to be spent to make this town even better. But with this additional, it is bringing the opposite affect of why we fell in love with Yorkville. Please take this and others responses into consideration and hopefully oppose the rezoning of that area. I appreciate your time and consideration.
